Pavs this morning. The third one is still dealing with an unabsorbed yolk sac and unable to stand.

I chuckle every time I look at them!

They are so cute!

They look like little old men...or space aliens!

Happy Sunday! It appears everyone likes leftover "home made Red Lobster Biscuits" (from a box mix).

HI guys. I just changed the background on my blog and used this chicken picture. What is it?

Leghorn?

I bought a couple of boxes but haven't tried them yet. I sent one box home for my grandson to make and report back.

Have you ever seen a Cat Face spider? Well, we have them here in Utah. Poisiness. We have a lot of Black Widows too. See those more often, but the other day, DH and I were backing up out of the carport, saw this little stinker. Said I would get that guy and web when we got back. I did. But first got a couple of photos of it. It's young. They get pretty big. They have fake eyes are on their back side. They have pointy ends on the butt up above the fake eyes, looks like a cat face.


Ugly little critters. I do not like the fact that we found one here.

It must be true for Google said it:

They are harmless with low toxicity venom.

That really does not make any sense to me....Venom is Venom right?

Don't like those cat face, they get soo ugly when they are bigger, this one was just young, didn't have the big head looking butt. or what ever end it's on. Just ugly things for sure. I wouldn't want to get pinched by one. Yes, venom is venom.

All spiders have venom. That's why they are able to stun their prey and render it immobile. Only a few have venom that causes problems to humans though.

From my reading in just a few minutes these cat face spiders are completely harmless to humans and pets. From when I lived in Utah, to my memory you have the Black Widow, Brown Recluse, and Hobo Spider as your harmful-to-humans spiders. The Hobos are the only ones I was really afraid of- they have no fear and will chase you if they feel threatened.

Brown Recluse are becoming more common here in Northern California. They usually hide and are not aggressive though. Black Widows are every where! I have never been bitten by one though I am very aware of what the webs feel like.

The Brown recluse are much more poisonous though. One person in Red Bluff California was bitten and wound up with liver failure and a huge hole where the bite was.
